RLCD makes it easy to control small embedded devices from Android. It provides a simulated LCD that devices control wirelessly to display a simple text-based UI. RLCD sends touches on the LCD to the embedded device enabling interactive UIs. Thus small faceless resource-constrained devices can have a dynamic interactive "app" on mobile devices.

The Remote LCD protocol is simple and open allowing simulated display implementations on other mobile OSes. To see the handful of commands that make up the protocol please check out the readme on the code page. We will gladly accept contributions of the protocol implemented on other OSes.

Reference client implementations:
RLCD - Android App providing virtual remote LCD.
rlcd_client.py - Python RLCD client demo.
rlcd_client.sh - BASH RLCD client utility.
rlcd_uidemo_spark_core.ino - Interactive UI demo for Spark Core.
